Description
Alder Hey is a special place with phenomenal potential. As one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals, we provide specialist healthcare to over 450,000 children and young people each year. In addition to our state-of-the-art site at Alder Hey in the Park, we have a presence across a range of community outreach sites in Liverpool and Sefton, and collaborate with other providers to deliver care closer to children and young people’s homes from Cumbria to Shropshire, in Wales, and the Isle of Man. Along with our amazing workforce of 4,450 staff, we are a teaching and training hospital, with a turnover of £416 million.
As an anchor institution for children and young people’s healthcare in the North West, we are a top performing Trust with a CQC ‘Outstanding’ for Care and ‘Good’ overall, and a leading innovator with a commitment to game changing research and innovation rooted in outstanding clinical services. Throughout the last year, we have been working to deliver on our 2030 Vision and Strategy for ‘a healthier, happier and fairer future where every child and young person achieves their potential’. In the coming months we are set to continue with our ambitious plans to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people by working collaboratively within our most deprived communities, whilst also driving excellence in our acute hospital services.
We are now seeking to appoint two values-driven and inspiring Non-Executive Directors to join our engaged, dynamic, and established Board, focused on putting patients, their families, and our people at the heart of all our strategic decisions. As a Non-Executive Director, you will demonstrate compassion for our staff and those we serve, promote the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance, and offer independent challenge and support.
In both appointments we are seeking strategic leaders with Board level or equivalent experience gained in complex, changing, and multi-stakeholder environments. To complement our existing team, for one of the positions we are interested in hearing from individuals from a clinical, public health or leadership background, ideally with experience of health inequalities and the wider determinants of population health or working in communities. In the second appointment we are interested in hearing from senior leaders in the private, public, or third sector who offer experience in one of more of the following areas: service transformation and leading change, technical innovation or strategy development.
Alder Hey is an inclusive, supportive family focussed environment with dedicated and friendly staff. We want our Board to represent the diversity of the population we serve, and we warmly welcome and encourage applications from candidates from under-represented groups.
